I went out into the hallway. Then, there was a door I hadn't seen before. I opened it, curious. It slowly opened with a worn-out sound. I looked like it was the kitchen. It was eerie. I kept hearing a clicking noise. I continued to go towards the source of the noise, only to find a knife swinging back and forth in the air in a deserted place. Grasping the handle, I felt even more terrifying, as if it were about to stab me. Startled, I tried to move away from the knife. I slammed the kitchen door shut and gasped for breath. This place was dangerous and terrifying. The very existence of this nightmare world was becoming increasingly questionable. I calmed my ragged breathing and began to slowly look around again. Someone had clearly unleashed this world on purpose. If we don't seal it, this nightmare world will destroy the real world. Who the hell is it? I don't know who it is, but if I catch them, they won't let me go. I internally vented my anger. Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Startled, I hid. The object looked human. But it seemed incredibly dangerous, and I decided I had to try something, so I approached the creature. It probably didn't see me. As I followed it, the object suddenly stopped dead in its tracks.



“Who are you, to come into this world?”



“Me..? I am a Catholic exorcist, and I have come to seal this world.”



“What is it, comrade?”



"huh.."



Fortunately, he was in the same situation as me, and he wasn't particularly threatening. He was an exorcist, so how could the atmosphere be so different? The purple-haired man was heading toward the kitchen. Fearing he might end up dead like me, I called out to him.



“Don’t go in the kitchen. There are things there that are possessed by evil spirits.”



“I’m going to seal that evil spirit.”



“...”



The purple-haired man entered the kitchen and approached the eerie knife from earlier. Suddenly, the knife swung wildly and lunged at the purple-haired man. The man dodged the knife and cast a spell. Immediately, the knife remained motionless, like a docile puppy, and the evil spirit burst forth. Then, with a pained howl, it vanished. The man looked at me and snarled.



“Hey. Are you really an exorcist? Why are you just watching?”



“I am an exorcist, but... I think I lost my abilities when I came to this world.”



"Lies, then what am I? Why do I keep getting in your way?"



"Sorry..."



“Don’t bother me, just go away.”



“..Just tell me how to get out.”



"under-.."



The child asked my name as if he wanted me to give my full name.



“What is your name?”



“Kim Yong-seon.”



"Kim Yong-seon...? You're Kim Yong-seon, a mid-level Catholic exorcist, right? I thought I'd seen you somewhere..."



“Ah.. then what about you?”



“I am Moonbyul, the highest-level Catholic exorcist.”



"ah.."



The star looked at the dragon ship with pity and spoke.



“I know it’s annoying, but I’ll go with you since you’re scared.”



Yongseon wasn't offended by Byul's kind words. He was already in a scary situation. The most important thing was finding a way out of here. When on earth would this labyrinth of a world called Nightmare be broken? Who opened this world? He was truly curious.
